First sentence: Yawns are sneaky. They can creep up on you when you least expect them. There you are, minding your own business, building the tallest block tower in the history of the universe or dressing up the cat when suddenly...
Premise/plot: A boy warns little ones of the dangers of yawning. Yawns lead to being sent to put on pajamas, pajamas lead to being read to, being read to leads to being sung to, being sung to leads to being hugged and kissed, and...
Before you know it, you're tucked into bed, snug as a bug, and wondering..."How did I get here?"My thoughts: Our little hero tries his best NOT to yawn as he warns others of the dangers of yawning.

In fact, the boy almost stereotypes all of the traditional stories.
